The fishing boats [not go] out if the wind keeps blowing so strongly.

I wrote The fishing boats are not going out if the wind keeps blowing so strongly. Is it Okay? :oops:

If you are asking about the future perfect tense, this should be:

Do you think you will have completed your work in time for dinner?

Yes. You could also say:

• The fishing boats will not be going out if the wind keeps blowing so strongly.

Again, assuming you are asking about the future perfect tense, this needs a future time reference. There is none in this sentence.

Unles things change in the next few months, the company [lose] money all year long.[future perfect progressive]. I wrote Unless
things change in the next few month, the company is going to be losing money all year long. is it ok like this also.

I'd say no- use this:
will have been losing

This shows that something is partially complete (by filling the time period given), while being unfinished. 'going to be losing' doesn't work, IMO, as it doesn't carry the idea of a stage of completion.

Hm. How about "The boats will not be going out today if the wind keeps blowing so strongly"?
